To all whom it may cow/0cm:

Be it known that I, EDWARD WITTCOFF, a citlzen. of the United States, and resident of the city of St. Louis and State of. Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Seat Covers, of which the following 1s a specification, containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming plied thereto.

Fig. 2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrow.

Fig. 3 an enlarged fragmental view 'of a portion 'of the seat cover,v illustrating the means of detachably securing them together.

Fig. 4 a lan view of the back'and seat covers folded, preparatory to being rolled.

Fig. 5 a perspective view of the cover rolled and fastened together.

' Referring to the drawings,

6 indicates the sectionfor the back of the seat which is formed out of grass or straw' matting and is bound by a piece of fabric 7. 8 indicates the seat section which is formed of like material and is bound 'by a piece of fabric 9. The sections 6 and 8 are substantially of the same shape and size and may be made any size or form desired. Formed the lower edge of the section 6 is a series of eyelets 10 passing through the bindingand through the material out of which the cover is made. Formed along the rear margin of the section 8 area series of similar eyelets 11 passing through the bindlng'9 and the material. Formed in the side margin of the section 8 are eyelets 12 and formed in the frontmargin of the section is aneyelet13.

tion,

14: indicates a lacing string which is adapted to be laced through the'eyelets 10 and 11 as lllustrated in Fig. 3, and when so lacedit has a projecting free end 15 of sufiicient length to pass beneath the seat 16 and to be inserted through the eyelet 13 for securing the cover to the seat as illustrated in Fig. 2. When the cover; is not in use and it is desired to roll the same, the sections are folded together and the free end 15 of the string is inserted through one of the eyelets '12 as illustrated in Fig. 1. The sectionsare then rolled over the diagonal portion of the Patented July 118, 11822.

free end of the string 15, the remaining portion of said string being folded over and rolled on the outside of the'section 6 and then tied as illustrated in Fig. 5.. I

It willtherefore be observed that the lace 14: answers as a means for adjustably and -detachably connecting the sections 6 and 8 and. the free end of said lacing string also answers as a means for securing the; cover to the seat, and further, answers as a means for holding the-cover in rolled form as illustrated in Fig. 5'.

By em loying the connection described between t e sections 6 and 8, the section 8 may be adjustable to and from the section 6,.

thus providing for difi'erent width seats, and also regulating the portion of the section 8 which is folded over the front edge of the seat.

Having fully described my invention,

what I claim is:

A cover for auto seats comprising a back sectlon and a seat section, the lower margin of the back section being provided with eyelets, and the rear side and front marglns of eyelets,

the seat section being provided with and a lacing string inserted through the eyelets formed in the lower margin of the back section and the rear margin of the seat sec and having a free end adapted to be passed beneath the seat and inserted through the eyelet formed in the front margin of the seat section In testimony whereof, Ihave signed my name to this specification.
